    Warrior has branching combos though?

    PLD had that too just a few months ago when he still got the balls and wasn't a Tesco value Gunbreaker.

    One of many problems with auto combo is that it's not even applicable to everyone. SAM could stay the same, but now RPR for example, who is already pretty barebones, has even less skills. No, they will not add more skills. Only time when they actually add something is at expansion release (2 skills usually) and occasionally they recycle old skill (Bulwark). They will not add anything to compensate for it.

    So please, if someone wants auto combo, just download XIVCombo and leave others alone. It takes like 5 minutes to get plugins (according to my mum's friend's goldfish). Jobs are primitive enough, positionals and 1-2-3 are one of the last mechanics jobs have, asside from higher end optimalizations.

    Also, if you're unironically using XIVCombo because of the infamous phrase "button bloat", consider checking your keybinds. There is no way that someone without physical handicap is unable to use keybinds for some ~30 buttons, half of which is situational/infrequent. Leveling and MSQ progression is super slow, no way that you can't get used to it after 300-500 hours. And if you really can't, then that's a you problem.

    To be more clear on what I meant, is that my particular problem is with non branching combos. This means that:

    1) Combos that are always 1-2-3 are bland and as a design could be combined into one pvp button. I don't mind if they do this if for once we get something in return, like interesting other buttons and mechanics that prove more intricate than this baby sequence.
    2) Combos that still branch are fine by me. I never liked combos much, but I don't hate those and they at least provide choice and decisions to make.
